camp roam
welcome to
MOAB EDITION / mar 1-6, 2026
Are you searching for a retreat that goes beyond just styled shoots—a place where you can connect, learn, and grow alongside like-minded photographers?
So what is camp roam?
Think elevated summer camp vibes.
With seven retreats behind us, we’ve honed in on what truly matters—community. Camp Roam is a photography retreat designed to help photographers build meaningful connections, grow their businesses, and gain inspiring content along the way. While the styled shoots are beautifully curated, the heart of this retreat is the people. Our goal is to create an environment that fosters both personal and professional growth—where you’ll leave not just with stunning images, but with a support system of like-minded creatives who get it.
MORE THAN JUST A PHOTOGRAPHY RETREAT
Camp Roam isn’t just about styled shoots—it’s about experiencing the adventure together.
We kick things off with a community day to get to know each other and explore the breathtaking landscapes of Moab. Think short hikes to take in the scenery, lunch surrounded by towering red rocks, and ending the day at our favorite local brewery—because nothing builds connections like good food, good drinks, and shared experiences.
Throughout the retreat, we’ll also have cozy s’mores nights, outdoor movie screenings, and relaxed picnic hangouts—because the best memories happen in the in-between moments.
styled sessions
food + lodging
We’re bringing you four beautifully designed styled shoots with a strong focus on details—so you can elevate your portfolio with intentional, storytelling-driven images.
- 1 Micro Wedding – A full, intimate wedding setup with stunning details.
- 3 Elopements – Thoughtfully styled to showcase the adventure and intimacy of elopements.
Each shoot is crafted to help you build a portfolio that attracts your dream clients while giving you the space to experiment and create freely.
We’ll all be staying in an amazing Airbnb in Moab, Utah, creating the perfect space to relax, connect, and unwind after each day’s adventures.
- All meals included—breakfast, lunch, and dinner, plus plenty of snacks to keep you fueled throughout the day.
Have dietary restrictions? No worries! Just let us know on the questionnaire, and we’ll make sure you’re taken care of.

some faq's about the retreat
Absolutely! Anyone is welcome to join, but it’s important to know that The Roam is heavily focused on weddings/elopements. All of our styled shoots are wedding or couple-centered, and our education is tailored toward helping photographers grow successful wedding photography businesses. If you’re looking to break into weddings or add more couple-focused work to your portfolio, this could be a great opportunity! But if weddings aren’t your thing, just keep in mind that our content and shoots may not align with your primary focus. 🫶🏻✨

some faq's about the retreat
We run two styled shoots at a time, splitting attendees into smaller groups of up to six photographers. This keeps things intimate and ensures everyone gets plenty of shooting time! You’ll rotate between the two couples (usually twice), and we wrap up with open shooting so you can capture any last creative shots.
For details, we typically set everything up at once during some downtime at the Airbnb, giving you a chance to capture flat lays, invitation suites, and all the small elements that bring a wedding gallery to life. Our goal is to provide a well-paced, organized shooting experience while still allowing creative freedom! ✨📸

We host multiple education sessions each day, usually in 1–2 hour sittings. You’ll get access to a Google Doc to follow along, plus a PowerPoint on the screen for visuals. But these aren’t just lectures—we want them to feel like open conversations! We encourage questions, discussions, and sharing different perspectives, tips, an tricks from everyone in the group. The goal is to create a collaborative learning space where you can soak up knowledge, get inspired, and leave with actionable takeaways to elevate your business! ✨📖

Nope! On days we visit National Parks, we encourage carpooling so we don’t have to purchase multiple passes for each attendee. Typically, someone in each car has an annual pass, but if not—don’t worry, we’ve got you covered! Our goal is to make the experience seamless and stress-free so you can focus on creating and enjoying the scenery. 🚙📸✨

some faq's about the retreat
Due to insurance restrictions, we aren’t able to provide transportation for attendees. However, we set up a large group chat before the retreat so everyone can coordinate! Typically, almost everyone ends up carpooling together, which makes it super easy to get around and is a great way to connect with other photographers. 🚙✨

some faq's about the retreat
Our ticket prices are based on the number of beds available in the lodging we book. If you’d like your own bed (which typically means your own room as well), you’ll need to purchase two full-price tickets. This is because we’d have to eliminate a spot to accommodate the bed count, ensuring fairness for all attendees. If you have any questions about lodging arrangements, feel free to reach out! 🛏️✨

I had the pleasure of attending my first ever photography retreat in the beautiful Santa Rosa, Florida, and I can honestly say it was an experience I’ll never forget. Hosted by the incredibly talented Dana and Bri, this retreat was nothing short of perfect from start to finish.
The attention to detail was evident in every aspect of the retreat. The florals were absolutely stunning, adding a touch of natural beauty to every shot. Each location we visited was thoughtfully chosen, providing us with diverse and picturesque backdrops that truly elevated our photography.
The models were not only beautiful but also professional and easy to work with, making the shooting process smooth and enjoyable. Dana and Bri’s expertise in curating the perfect settings for our sessions was clear—they really know how to bring out the best in every photographer’s work.
One of the highlights for me was the opportunity to network with other photographers from around the world. It was inspiring to connect with so many talented individuals, exchange ideas, and learn from each other’s experiences. The sense of community was genuinely uplifting.
As this was my first photography retreat, I couldn’t have asked for a better introduction to this kind of event. Dana and Bri, thank you for creating such a welcoming and inspiring environment. Your hard work and passion for photography shone through in every detail, and I am deeply grateful for the experience. I look forward to attending more retreats in the future and continuing to grow as a photographer thanks for the knowledge I also took from Dana and Bri .

I invested in the Arizona retreat hosted by Dana and Bri, and I cannot say enough how AMAZING my experience was. Dana and Bri seriously put blood, sweat, and tears into this retreat. They truly went above and beyond to serve their attendee's to give us the best experience possible. They provided so much education which I am BEYOND grateful for as a new business owner. I have learned so so much from B+D and I am truly so thankful for them being so excited to share their knowledge and wisdom to help new photographer's like me grow. All of the styled shoots were insanely beautiful, the AirBNB we stayed at was jaw dropping, they even gave us goodie bags with merch which I thought was extremely sweet and thoughtful. Overall, I could not have had a better experience it was worth EVERY penny. I will absolutely be attending another one of their retreats in the near future. Highly recommend to any photographer looking to expand their portfolio, build connections with amazing likeminded creatives, and looking to learn so much valuable education to help your business succeed. Thanks for everything, Dana and Bri!

Where do I start? I just got home from my 3rd Roam Retreat and it truly gets better every time. Bri + Dana pour their heart and soul into making these retreats not just about the photos but the community as well. This industry is so saturated with negativity but Bri + Dana do an amazing job of bringing some of the most creative and amazing people together. The education is always helpful and the guest speakers are incredible. I just learned so much about SEO and blogging this past week. The photos I get out of these retreats are always insane with amazing locations. It is truly one of the best things I have ever invested in for my business. Do yourself a favor and buy a ticket to their next one, you won't regret it!

"I HIGHLY recommend Roam for any retreat or workshop they put on. I have been to many styled content days and nothing compares to the planning and execution that Bri and Dana do! I went to the Oregon workshop and I was thoroughly impressed how their mood boards actually come to life, the locations they chose were amazing and full of variety, and we had so much fun learning and shooting together. They do a great job of making sure everyone gets time to photograph in the center, they choose amazing vendors/dresses, and goodness I could just go on and on. I will for sure be going back to another one in the future. If you're on the fence, you won't regret all of the education and content you'll gain. Not to mention - friends for life! "
"This was my first workshop I have ever attended and it could not have gone any better! Seriously, my expectations for any other workshops I attend in the future by other hosts other than the Roam is SUPER HIGH! The amount of hard work and creativity that went to each educational portion of the workshop, the styled shoots (so many styled shoots!), and even into choosing the Airbnb we were staying was absolutely amazing. I have so much content to help me book dream clients for locations I am hoping to market to. But, the biggest takeaway from this workshop has to be the friendships I have gained. I could not recommend The Roam Collective enough and I look forward to attending another!

"I loved attending the Oregon retreat! All the models were so amazing to work with and all the shoots were so different! It was the most organized retreat I have been to up to this date! I got so much content and I cannot wait to edit them! Thanks so much to the hosts for organizing it as I know how stressful it can be! I will definitely be back!"
- MOLLY W.
"Oh. My. Gosh. Where to begin! This was one of the BEST photography retreats/workshops that I have been to! Bri + Dana + Megan did an amazing job planning this week and the shoots really matched the gorgeous mood boards they advertised! The girls offered wonderful education sessions and I really felt like I bonded with the other attendees on the trip. If you’re looking to level up your photography education and bond with others in the wedding photography community, I cannot recommend The Roam Collective enough!! 1000/100!!!"
- EZRA E.
WOW! I honestly don't even know how to begin with this review--the retreat I did with Roam was truly unforgettable...literally cried of joy multiple times and then cried again at our goodbyes. I learned SO much, took some of the best photos of my career, and most importantly, I made connections and friendships with incredible photographers from across the country (and Canada!). It was obvious from day one that Dana and Bri put in so much work to make this experiencing as enriching as possible, and after my first day, I had already decided to go on their next retreat. Couldn't recommend this experience more for any photographer (at any point in their career) looking to get the ultimate creative reset. The investment is worth it---seriously do it!
